Local eats in Oldham

“Lovely licenced cafe by the canal - stopped for a coffee/drink mid afternoon. Sat on the veranda overlooking the canal. Husband had cider, I had coffee and apple pie. Staff were friendly and helpful - very attentive too. Lovely place to sit out and watch the ducks go by. Blankets also provided, if required. This is very common in Europe, glad to see more places in UK are doing the same, especially since lockdown. The scones and cookies looked amazing, so we got some to take away.”

“Only came in for a quick drink. Decent pub, well off the beaten path. Car park for 15/20 cars over the road. Loads of beers on tap. Food did look incredible. But didn’t have personally. Would recommend booking if going for food - not too many tables inside as it’s quite a narrow pub, none the less, still good. And dog friendly. Decent playlist on, Atleast the short time we was there. With sky sports on tv.”

“Lovely olde worlde country village pub serving fine food and ales offering some tasters and nibbles with our beers as the afternoon games session commenced! Great atmosphere will be back.”

“I cannot fault this Inn! Having wanted to visit the Navi for a few years after visiting the area. I finally got around to it this weekend. What a treat! The Inn is very welcoming and cosy as soon as you walk in and has been finished to a high standard. However, the true gem in the crown is the food! A great selection to meet any requirements and a fantastic list of specials! All the food was delicious, and I would highly recommend it to all!”

“Very nice experience with good food. Enjoyed a range of quality food with brilliant service.”

“Visited this place as the reviews on Google looked amazing. We arrived for brunch and we were greeted with a very friendly member of staff. The place was about 10% full, which was great for us! This place has a good selection of breakfast/brunch options, as well as many savoury, desserts, ice cream flavours and hot/cold drink options. I eat vegetarian, vegan and halal food. this place is 100% halal. We got the Berries, Pancake Stack, Turmeric Latte, Brioche French Toast and an Iced Latte. We did have to wait long for our order, however it was well worth it. The berries pancake stack that I had Was deliciously light and airy. I could tell it was made fresh. The menu did not mention the addition of chocolate sauce on the pancakes, however I wasn’t fussed about this. It was actually a nice addition to the dish. The turmeric latte was also tasty, and made me feel nice and warm. As turmeric does not properly mix properly with liquid, there was some turmeric left at the bottom of the mug, however I didn’t mind this. Overall, we had a very positive experience at this place and I highly recommend it to friends, couples and families!”

“Excellent food from an extensive menu, at a reasonable price. A warm , friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Clean, bright & cosy establishment. Best egg & bacon hotties in Oldham.”

“I had a good lunch here. The cheese and onion pie with gravy was very tasty. Highly recommend will certainly visit again. The food is good and portion sizes excellent. There is plenty of choice and it’s really good value. Service was efficient. The cafe itself has a lovely cozy atmosphere. A little gem in Oldham definitely worth a visit”

“A gem of a place, whether you’re enjoying the outside space or sat inside. I an a coeliac and thr menu had some great choices. Great bar too. Lots of outdoor seating areas. Really great staff, friendly and informative. Definitely added to my favourites list. Thanks - lived the peacocks too”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“The best pizza in the area. Always delivers on time, pepperoni pizza is soooo good! 100% would recommend!”

“My mum and I visited the farm shop and cafe and had afternoon tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. They provided great veggie options and it was overall delicious. You could add on a glass of Prosecco or a larger for an additional cost also. The crockery was lovely and the staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend !”

“This place is amazing. Atmosphere is cultured and the outside area is the best in the summer, but also fantastic in the colder months. We ordered the Grande Plater but unfortunately it arrived with no sardines or cheese…”

“In the area so popped in to get something quickly. I'll be back. Great guys and food is unreal.”

“Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.”

“A spur of the moment decision on a Sunday late Sunday afternoon. A Walk in without a reservation late on Sunday afternoon, the pub was relatively busy and there was a small queue of people waiting to be seated. Whilst guest were being seated, the lady behind the bar could see that we were waiting. She stopped what she was doing, she greeted us with a cherry hello, and confirmed if we had a reservation which we haven’t. She said it was no bother had a table available And it will only take two ticks to wipe down and set up. We both went for the Sunday lunch one roast beef one roast lamb the meals came to the table within 20 minutes and I have to say one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in years we finished off With one cheesecake and two spoons. The staff here at the Horton were most definitely on their a game when we visited on Sunday. Polite professional and welcoming. We will most definitely be returning to the Horton Arms.”

“I rarely ever review a place but credit where it's due. I have been going to this place since I've moved into Lees a few years ago and it is absolutely amazing. Taste is top quality. Highly recommend it.”

“Top food and great prices. Lovely ladies that work there too.”

“Salt and pepper chicken and rice box delicious”

“Really nice local cafe with friendly staff. Excellent homemade soup, tasty food & decent portion sizes for the price. I would recommend the spicy rice & the bakewel tart.”

“Had a fantastic lunch here just now. Booked online and had to delay an hour which they were fine about. Had fantastic service and the food was great. I had the rump steak and garlic butter sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly medium just how I asked and that sauce was delicious. Thanks very much!”

“Had a few roasts in the old venue which were stunning Been few times at the old cock and Sundays roasts fab too - I do miss the lamb shanks on the menu but enjoy the other meats we had Have to say the cheesecakes are the best I’ve eaten absolutely gorgeous Would also like to comment the young girl running the floor ( maybe the chefs daughter ) so lovely with a gentle caring and kind approach that always tries to make your experience as positive as possible Only negative be the venue seems so cold :)”

“Nice, old-fashioned very traditional British pub with a cool back room where bands play. Friendly service and a good atmosphere, the back room is small so perfect for an intimate gig. Good selection of beers on at the bars including Robinson's Trooper which is a personal fave!”

“Great corner shop for food and necessities ps they have a great Nick nack rack”

“Love the mad middle isle, bagged a few Christmas presents for my little grandson.”

“The food was the expected, standard affair. And as good as it was, it wasn't the standout part of our experience. The Service was beyond exemplary. We were served with a high level of friendliness and they were also kind enough to suggest things to elevate our food experience further. One example is asking about the type of bread we'd like in the Full English and another is if we'd like any additional flavouring in our Iced Lattes. This may seem obvious on the surface, but it's something that's regularly missing from the service at other breakfast establishments. It was a little pricey compared to other places, but that can be forgiven due to the friendly atmosphere, good food and exceptional service.”

“The best pizza in the area. Always delivers on time, pepperoni pizza is soooo good! 100% would recommend!”

“Love Aldi has everything we need but middle section has gone quite poor”

“Love it here, staff are so friendly especially the manager who is here all the time. Always welcomed in & food is amazing, menu is big- 100% recommend.”
